Will current versions of Firefox emulate older Firefox versions of browsers like IE8 or allow someone to open with another browser in Safari?

The compatibility function in IE8 allows me to emulate an older version of a browser when software won't work with IE8. I can emulate a different browser when I use Safari 5. Can you do this with Firefox?

You could try the IE Tab Plus or the IE Tab 2 add-on. These add-ons do not emulate IE, but allow you to open IE inside a Firefox tab for sites that do not work in Firefox.

The main difference between the 2 versions of IE Tab is that IE Tab Plus supports the Adblock Plus add-on whilst in IE mode.
